LIVE THREAD: H.O.T. CHAPTER'S CRAWFORD SUPPORT PRES. AND TROOPS RALLY (8/13/05)
Link to Announcement Thread ^ | Saturday, August 13, 2005 | Kristinn

Posted on 08/13/2005 6:55:59 AM PDT by kristinn

The Heart of Texas Chapter of FreeRepublic.com is holding a rally in Crawford, Texas today to show America's support for our troops, President Bush and the war on terrorists in Iraq, Afghanistan and elsewhere around the world.

The rally will be held at noon at the Crawford Civic Center at 1000 4th Street.

Freepers are coming from near and far to join the H.O.T. Chapter in Crawford. If you live within four hours drive of Crawford, it's not too late to hit the road and get on down there.

Folks in attendance will be calling in to me, Brad's Gramma and Jeff Head with live updates from the scene. I am told that cellphone coverage in Crawford is spotty. However, it may have gotten better of late.

We'll see.

Hat's off to Basil, Doctor Raoul, The Sarce and 2ndAmendmentMama (and anyone else) who've been scrambling the past two days to make this happen. Good luck!

I agree with you 100%......pressure needs to be on Congress. IMHO, they are the ones who are dropping the ball.

Loved the pics of everyone. Great job! I'll make one of these events one of these days.

Thanks for sharing the pics.

FRiends indeed!

For all the talk about hordes descending on Crawford, the lefties have averaged around 50 to 100 all week.

The left always seems to have more time to sit and protest. Guess they don't have jobs or maybe protesting is their job. But I agree, 50 to 100 is not a horde. Maybe a herd.

To: The Bat Lady; All
The Dr. Raoul went over so many things. He told us what has been happening in DC with Code Pink going to Walter Reed Hospital to "support the troops" with horrible signs and tacky behaviour.

The amazing Doctor of FReep has been with us numerous times during our 17 FReeps of the Code Pinkos' obscene blood dance outside Walter Reed Army Medical Center.

Incredibly, we have outnumbered them for 11 straight weeks now, despite DC's high concentration of leftist activists. We're not sure that we can continue to have greater numbers than the Pinkos. It depends on additional FReepers attending. (Why not you? And I don't mean The Bat Lady.)

It appears that Cindy Sheehan was anti-war anti-Bush before her son's tragic death in combat. Code Pinkos and other leftists have exploited her grief to turn her into a full scale Bush-hater and war protestor.

The Pinkos, as part of their latest activities, are at Walter Reed every Friday night to likewise try to "turn" war-wounded troops and their family members into Bush-hating war protestors and then exploit them for the left's twisted propaganda purposes.

If you are mad as hell at what the leftists are doing at Crawford with the unstable Cindy Sheehan, don't just get mad, but take action in your local community such as countering the left's anti-military recruiting campaign or peacefully counter-demonstrating to the "peace" (really "surrender") rallies in your area.

If anyone is within driving distance of DC, please join us on Friday night at Walter Reed. Wounded troops, including amputees, have told us repeatedly how important it is for their morale for us to be there.

Below are links to threads from the latest posted report and two of the earlier FReeps in the series and in which we had direct interactions with National Chief Pinko Medea Benjamin and/or DC Chief Pinko Gael Murphy. (The report from the most recent Friday should be posted late Sunday or on Monday.)

The photos are hyperlinked. Clicking on them pulls up a larger version. Sound files are included in the last two threads.

For the tenth week in a row, FReepers from the DC Chapter and beyond have outnumbered Code Pinkos at their weekly obscene anti-war blood dance outside Walter Reed Army Medical Center.  In the liberal bastion of Washington, DC, a city filled with left wing activists and where about 90 percent of the people voted against George Bush, Code Pink cannot muster enough people to achieve the desired fraud and deceit at their Walter Reed protest.

Do you think that the Pinkos are sickos to have an anti-war demonstration at a hospital holding war-wounded? Then please help us by showing up next Friday night per details below.  Stand up against the Pinkos who've endorsed the Iraqi resistance (see here and here), given money to the other side in Fallujah, and called our troops "killers." Then, the Pinkos demonstrate at the hospital and pretend that they support our troops.

FReepers vs. Code Pink at Walter Reed, July 8 (Heavy graphics, Join us July 15!)

On the heels of an historic rout of the Code Pinkos on July 1, FReepers  continued to frustrate the hate-filled Pinkos and their evil scheme as police ordered a stunned and distraught DC Chief Pinko, Gael Murphy, back to her side.  FReepers of the DC Chapter and FReepers from elsewhere achieved the decisive victory on Friday night, July 8.

This was the 13th FReep of the unlucky Code Pinkos as FReepers hinder the Pinkos' evil scheme: to fake friendship with soldiers in hopes of finding one or more who, vulnerable in their wounded state, can be manipulated into joining the anti-war movement and breaking faith with their fellow troops. Many of the most severely wounded troops from the war in Iraq and Afghanistan are taken to Walter Reed for continued treatment and rehabilitation. The Pinkos other goal is too demoralize those wounded troops.

CLICK TO HEAR SOUND FILE (OR RIGHT CLICK TO SAVE AND LISTEN LATER) (76 sec, 826 K): This starts with Murphy accusing us of being filled with hate. (Laughable. She is so filled with hatred of us that she has to come over to get in our faces, but we try to keep away from her.)  At one stage, she tells me to "shut up."  (Right, not too much hate there.)  I argued that we supported the troops, but the only troops they support are the "Iraqi resistance, the terrorists." bmwcyle is also in the sound file.

FReepers vs. Code Pink at Walter Reed (round IV w/ Medea & Murphy coming to our side)
DC Chapter ^ | May 7, 2005 | BillF

Posted on 05/06/2005 12:36:47 AM PDT by BillF

For the forth time in just over 4 weeks, DC Chapter FReepers conducted a FReep of Code Pink's anti-war protest at the gate of Walter Reed Army Medical Center, where many of the most severely wounded troops from the war in Iraq and Afghanistan are taken for continued treatment and rehabilitation. The FReep of the leftists' obscene blood dance was on the Friday night, April 29.

[snip]

Code Pink co-founder Gael Murphy and Code Pink chief founder Medea Benjamin separately came over to talk to us, each for at least twenty minutes. Below are sound bites, WAV files that you can click on to hear or right click and save for later listening.

[snip]

*SOUND FILE (64 sec, 481 K): Benjamin discusses Afghanistan and infiltration with BillF, BufordP, and Always Free.  After Buford mentions Muslim FBI translators who refuse to blow the whistle on fellow Muslims, Medea says that maybe our country is infiltrated. "You're an infiltrator in this country, too," is what I said to Medea.

SOUND FILE (74 sec, 690 K): Benjamin tries to explain the contradiction between her alleged friendship with military members and the Code Pink view of our military as "killers."

SOUND FILE (28 sec, 310 K): kristinn applauds no terrorist attacks in the U.S. after Sept 11, but Benjamin decries an increase around the world. BillF says the increase is caused by her friends.

*SOUND FILE (100 sec, 1.1 M): Benjamin talks about working with ANSWER.  She describes ANSWER as Stalinists who are "nasty, angry."

*SOUND FILE (50 sec, 1.1 M): Benjamin says that neither of our respective sides is as bad as the other says, but kristinn disagrees with respect to them not being as bad as we think they are. BufordP corrects Medea when she accidentally lets the flag touch the ground. Medea says "I like you guys. I love your Mother of All Banners."

SOUND FILE (55 sec, 592 K): Benjamin won't back Hillary in '08, but she says that she normally backs a candidate who finishes in third place or below.

*SOUND FILE (46 sec, 506 K): Benjamin explains her choice of "Medea" as a first name. She claims that Medea really did not kill her children.

I am in full support of this Freeper rally. I would like to point out that in relation to Mike Gallagher It is being reported that he had people chant "We Don't Care". This was not good thing to say because when taken out of context as I am sure it was it does sound rather cold. I imagine that it will be used to make it sound like conservatives don't care about the death of her son. Which is of course false.

I didn't hear what was said ... but yes, that is why they picked Cindy to be their speaker

They think she is attack proof

Cindy has every right to her opinion and she has every right to be against this war and speak out against it

But Cindy's problem is Cindy and her association with far left groups like Code Pink .. a group of anti war protesters that raised funds and sent it to the insurgents in Iraq

Code Pink sent money to very people that killed her son

She is definately a nut case without a clue. I was just thinking how neat it would be if some of the posters today had the picture of her meeting with president Bush. That would have looked great on news screens. I sure would have toasted her credibility even more.

Maybe someone could go over to the site in the link I sent you and post that picture of President bush giving Cindy a kiss. I bet it would not stay up long. They actually have a website called "meet with cindy.com" Oh Boy. The things you find if you corrupt yourself by looking at the dark side.
